A slidable transmission shaft for a manual transmission includes a plurality of closely-spaced splines at a second end, a first plurality of keys at a first end, which are slidably engagable to an impeller fastened to the crankshaft of a motor vehicle for high gear, and a second plurality of keys spaced from the first plurality of keys and which are slidably engagable to a clutch for low gear. This slidable transmission shaft can also achieve reverse by sliding into a position where neither of the plurality of keys are engaged.
